Lyra Solis pours years of magical vitality into shielding the arrogant Fae princes from war, only for the royal siblings to sever their bond and banish her in favor of a calculating court rival. Crushed by their callous betrayal, Lyra severs the remaining magical tethers and leaps from the precipice into the churning void below, choosing death over servitude.
Instead of destruction, she is caught mid-fall by Valerius, the dreaded Dragon King whose fiery empire rivals the Fae realm. Valerius offers her unconditional loyalty, unmatched protection, and a glittering imperial crown. When the remorseful princes realize the devastating loss of her magic and come begging for her return, Lyra stands resolute at her new monarch's side, ready to incinerate their hollow apologies.
